I Believe that people are the same everywhere

No matter where you go people always have the same thing running in there mind. For most people its work, school, or a special someone. Not one person I have met so far in my life that is not completely messed up has overall the same worries and goals. We all worry about schoolwork and deadlines, and we all worry about family and our nation. Our goals are ultimately the same because we all want success and for our family to be cared for and happy. I believe that this is true for the entire world population not only America. I believe that because people are ultimately the same everywhere it gives us connections with other people, other nations, and most importantly our enemies.
